Been Too Cold

[rmikevt]

Been too cold to smoke outside in Md for the last 3 weeks, I don’t smoke indoors or regularly. We had Temps of 4* at night. It’s finally 52* tonight and I encouraged my wife to go to bed early and I’m sitting on my rocking chair on the front porch enjoying a bowl of Mississippi Mud.

Nothing like a quite evening enjoying a nice pipe while contemplating the meaning of life, the universe and everything.

A heat lamp and a $18 snuggy from Amazon.com is the one-two-punch for winter outdoor smoking.

Welcome, rmikevt.
That's a big part of the reason I left Baltimore and have been in Texas for the past 20 years.
That said, we'll be dipping down into the mid 30's for the next 3 nights.
Most of my smoking is from 3-10pm, so I can make do.
Congrats on a warm evening, for a change.

I live in Pa and it has also been very cold here. I also do not smoke in the house , but that gives me the opportunity :clap: to listen to music in my warm truck

Hey, just saw this, I live in Hagerstown. I have an insulated garage/workshop with a space heater and it's been so cold this winter, I've even deferred to not smoking for many of those days. It's 17 degrees this morning, the garage is around 45 degrees, maybe later this evening...Welcome to the forum!

Earlier this week, when I walked out of work, it was SO MUCH warmer than when I walked in, I decided I needed some garage time. Two sweatshirts, heavy jacket and a torpedo heater, made it pleasant in my shop. After I finished my pipe, I continued working on a pipe stand I was working on. All the work requiring power tools is now completed.
It was 17 degrees outside.
Starting today, we are expected to get possibly 6-10 inches of snow. Everyone at work was encouraged to take vacation. I will be hand sanding today.

15 below here, but Yahoo says it "feels like" -29 F.

I say it "feels like" I should retire somewhere warmer. Like Pennsylvania or Maryland.

When it gets that cold here, I usually just walk back into the house and the laz-e-boy and fire up.

Dang gents, I thought here in the Northeast it was cold - today we are having a heatwave - 30F with wind chills between 20F-25F, I only smoke outside on the patio - I'm looking at installing something from Infratech ( Infratech - WD6 - Dual Element 6,000 Watt ). I just need to get an electrician out here to wire up a dual-switch for me. I'm tired of freezing out there - had those propane-style heaters out there but when the wind kicks up they are not very effective

It's only getting up to 59 here today. I had to put on long sleeves...

It's a balmy 75 degrees with 76% humidity. A little too muggy to be smoking outside right now. Later tonight with a temp of 65 and a warm tropical breeze, it will be lovely. I am so glad I moved to FL in 2003.

-34C on the gauge this morning. I smoke in my enclosed area in the garage with an electric blanket and 2 space heaters! It's either that or wait until spring.

Hey folks, I wasn't trying to play the 'topper' game. I just happened to read this thread yesterday and decided to respond because it was so cold. It will probably pan out to be the coldest day of the year. Today it's only -6C.

A gorgeous central Alberta day.

Today was my first smoke in two weeks only -5C in Quebec. It felt good!
